Thank you. Somebody has stolen it then, being switched off is the giveaway. `Thank you for taking the time to answer. Sad......cant afford another....sad but true..lol

Find my Iphone not working - says it's off line and it isn't

I'm checking that Find my Iphone is working, and it isn't. It's sitting in fornt of me and it's on line - everything is working fine on my WiFi network and I can surf the web. Location Services is turned on and Find My Iphone is turned on.
But when I log into Icloud on my Mac book Pro, also in front of me, it says my Iphone is offline. What's up? BTW, works fine with my Ipad.

HT201365 can i clear my device with find my iphone if the device is switched off

can i clear my device with find my iphone if the device is switched off

I'm kinda guessing here, but your phone was stolen and you want to lock it, but it is showing offline? You can send an lock request, and a delete request, but if it is offline, it will not be received until the device goes back online again. If the device has the latest iOS on it, and Find My iPhone active, then it cannot be activated without your Apple ID and password. It will be a brick. And, if they try to activate, it will connect to the Internet and you will be able to track and the erase will activate.

TS4006 Find my iphone not working in icloud

While trying to locate my iphone 3gs via icloud , getting error "Cant't load Find My iPhone".

I do not I have a secondary account that was made on accident when my husband upgraded his phone but it has never been used. All the find my iPhones are signed in under my main account that I use all the time.

Find my iPhone not working

My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him. They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly. I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again. I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works. It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in). Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline. Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did. I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes. I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app. He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it. The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability. Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
Here are some reasons:
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

It's her phone, and no, her boyfriend cannot track it unless he knows her Apple ID & password.

Find my iphone not working on macbook pro

Find My iPhone is working accurately on all my other devices and laptops. However on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012, running current Yosemite 10.10.1) it is not. As you can see from the image below on the MacBook Pro doing an iPhone search produces a confused image of 4x small maps of the same area and places the iPhone nowhere near any of them. Find my iPhone does this on my Macbook Pro (only), no matter which one of my 3 iPhones I try to find. Anyone with any clues on how to fix this? Thanks.

Well, YAY! Browsers can be like that. For the longest time, the only way I could look at my digital paycheck was by going to the site using Safari. Now Firefox will display it, but don't know if that was because of a change in Firefox, or a change on the ADP website....sometimes they just don't play well together.
Glad you are all sorted now!
Cheers,

Can i used the find my iphone app with my phone dead?

I lost my phone which is now dead but I had the Find My IPhone app on it. Is there anyway I can use it to find my phone even though the phone itself is dead?

things which will stop find my iphone working
1. phone is off
2. phone was started find my iphone app was removed
3. phone was restore to factory settings
4. phone dont have internet connection

Mobileme is dead. Will find my iPhone still work?

mobileme is dead. Will find my "Find my iPhone" still work much longer?
It seems to for now, but did Apple mention a replacement for "Find my iPhone" without mobileme?
-Apple 2GS

MobileMe is NOT dead - where did you get that idea? iCloud will eventually replace MobileMe, but it's still in beta and there will be MANY announcements about the transition before it occurs. Right now, iCloud also provides Find My Phone, but I wouldn't rely on it as it's still beta code.

IPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.

My wife has an iPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.
Please help.. This has become a pain.. and of course theres no way to go back to iOS 6.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then... Restore as New (not backup) and Re-Sync your Content.
